The summer is over and cooler days are upon us. While cutting a dash around the city the elegant STWer finds himself a bit chilly when stepping out of his A4 tdi sline avant, wearing just a Howies polo shirt up top. It's not cold enough yet to bust out the AlpKit puffer but while standing in the street admiring the Bronson C in the window, something with a little bit of warmth, wind and shower proofing would just do the trick.
What would the hive do?
Note: I don't drive an Audi or ride a 5 but I might have the polo shirt.
Tough crowd?
Not playing polo? Ditch that shirt.
Oxfam tweed allows a wardrobe full for every occasion.
I tend to wear a Harrington-a-like or that on one merino jacket in autumn. Neither are particularly shower proof though!

My options in this season, and I have to say I am not a sartorial leader in any way, are:
Thin softshell jacket, black, [url= http://www.decathlon.co.uk/bionassay-500-mens-softshell-jacket-black-id_8189747.html ]Decathlon[/url].
Zip up, hooded sweat shirt, [url= http://www.hm.com/gb/product/73254?article=73254-N ]H&M[/url] if memory serves.
Various formal jackets, tweed and cotton depending on the occasion.
Arc'teryx Atom LT, comes in hooded or none hooded.
Carhartt?

I'm in the same position at the moment and I'm looking at something like a lightweight down jacket.
Depending on what is being worn on the lower half, I'd say tweed. A good tweed can be as light or as heavy as you need it to be and it will go with pretty much anything.
I have a relatively lightweight single breasted jacket in a mid-light green that goes nicely with chinos or dark jeans and it is perfect for this sort of weather.
Please, please just wear a shirt though. Polo shirts? no.

Polo shirts? no.
Don't you know, Polo shirts with an up turned collar are still all the rage in preppy-ville. Standard attire for an up and coming Oxbridge undergrad.
If you go down the Oxfam route don't compromise on fit;

Depending on what is being worn on the lower half, I'd say tweed.
And a bow tie.
And a fez.
I wear a fez now.
Fezzes are cool.

swrve softshell deck jacket fits the spec performance wise, not sure if it would get the approval of the brown broguers though......
